- How Talk picked them
- We drafted 34 phrases for speaking up in meetings (getting in, adding to a point, asking questions and pushing back), plus the other ways people say them (contractions, British and American forms). We counted how many of Talk's spoken videos say each one. We kept those heard in at least three lines across two or more videos, with at least one clear moment.
